In 2013, Jeff Brown left behind a 26-year career in broadcasting and launched the Read to Lead Podcast, a show that would go on to become a Top 3 Career podcast in Apple Podcasts and receive, so far, four Best Business Podcast nominations. For nearly 9 years now, Jeff has published weekly interviews with some of the world’s most successful and inspiring authors totaling over four hundred episodes.

The show’s success would eventually lead to the publication of his own book – released last August – called Read to Lead: The Simple Habit That Expands Your Influence and Boosts Your Career. Reviews for the book average 4.9 stars on Amazon and it has ranked in the Top 3 on Amazon for Career Guides.

Through his virtual and in-person speaking and workshops, Jeff evangelizes leaders and teams on the benefits of lifelong learning and professional development and has recently accepted invitations to speak from leaders at prestigious organizations such as LinkedIn, Disney, and the Virginia Council of CEOs.
